TRUE HONOUR
READ: 2 Kings 4:8
And if ye offer the blind for sacrifice, is it not evil? and if ye offer the lame and sick, is it not evil? offer it now unto thy governor; will he be pleased with thee...
Malachi 1:8
The Shunammite woman received a child because she believed in the anointed and honoured him. She showed her respect for the anointed by furnishing a room permanently for the man of God.
Do not honour the anointed with inappropriate and worthless things. In the days of Malachi, just as it happens today, people bring worthless things to the house of God and to the servant of God. Everyone has a box of perfume that he has not yet used. Everyone has a vase or chinaware that she cannot use. Everyone has some clothes that do not fit very well. These are the things that are brought to honour the anointing. You are making a great mistake. God is not a fool. When you honour the anointed, it is God you are honouring and not a man.
When the Shunammite honoured the man of God, he was provoked to ask what she needed. Indeed, every rich and apparently successful person has a need. She needed a child and she needed one desperately. Elisha’s words were simple: “At this time next year, you shall embrace a son.”
It is noteworthy that Gehazi pointed out to Elisha that the woman’s husband was old. This old husband would hardly ever have sex with his wife, the Shunammite woman. All his problems were overcome through the anointing. Through the anointed and his anointing, all the complicated problems of your life will be dissolved. Through the anointed, you will receive healing from every plague and every kind of disease in this world.
Start your day with a blessing!!!😇
